So your're suggesting they just drop the 3DS and dedicated handhelds in general? That's basically all that's keeping Nintendo in business right now, so why get rid of it and replace it with something that their may not even be as large of a market for. This route would also require more regular reiterations of the product, which means that games would quickly become outdated, taking away the evergreen nature of many Nintendo games. |
They are going to have to adapt to how people's lifestyles have changed now, or they can become irrelevant. I think it's dawning on Iwata already.
3DS has to be replaced at some point anyway, a tablet in 2015 can coexist with a 3DS for a couple of years with the 3DS being $99-$129 and severing the budget market for the last couple of years of its life cycle.
Wii U's just been a disaster from the day 1 unveiling which was underwhelming. It's a giant miscalculation on Nintendo's part and no, Mario Kart isn't saving that trainwreck.
